It might be quicker to ask – what can’t it help with?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hypnotherapy has helped clients to overcome phobias, manage anxiety, be more confident, lose weight, conquer addictions – the list goes on! Perhaps most surprisingly, hypnotherapy is NICE-recognised, and even recommended as an effective treatment for IBS, by improving the gut-brain connection.<\/p>\n
Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and specialised techniques to change the way we think, amending our fundamental beliefs and forging new neural pathways, overwriting the old ones. Effectively, we can use hypnotherapy to reprogramme our brains, if we want to!<\/p>\n

Research and clinical trials support its effectiveness for issues like anxiety, chronic pain, IBS, phobias, and habit change.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Will I lose control or do something I don\u2019t want to?” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n No. You remain fully conscious and in control during hypnotherapy.
